I don't know what that video is describing, relative to EFE. The paper [1] abstract describes EFE and their findings this way:
Theories of modified gravity generically violate the
strong equivalence principle, so that the internal
dynamics of a self-gravitating system in free fall
depends on the strength of the external gravitational
field (the external field effect). We fit rotation
curves (RCs) from the SPARC database with a model
inspired by Milgromian dynamics (MOND), which relates
the outer shape of a RC to the external Newtonian
field from the large-scale baryonic matter
distribution through a dimensionless parameter eN.
We obtain a >4σ statistical detection of the external
field effect (i.e. eN>0 on average), confirming
previous results. We then locate the SPARC galaxies
in the cosmic web of the nearby Universe and find a
striking contrast in the fitted eN {values} for
galaxies in underdense versus overdense regions.
Galaxies in an underdense region between 22 and 45
Mpc from the celestial axis in the northern sky have
RC fits consistent with eN≃0, while those in
overdense regions adjacent to the CfA2 great wall
and the Perseus-Pisces supercluster return eN that
are a factor of two larger than the median for SPARC
galaxies. [...]
